Firstly if you have lost your British passport while in Switzerland then you will need to report this to the Swiss police. Secondly they will provide you with a police report so that you can provide this to the British Embassy to show that it has been reported lost. Thirdly you will need to obtain an emergency passport so you can leave the country. You can also wait for a new passport. Finally see the passport fees for the new passport.
If you are getting married then you will need a letter of no impediment from the Embassy. This shows that you are single. Your divorce certificate or death certificate of your last spouse must also go with this application. Then wait a few days and then collect the letter. Take this to be verified by the Swiss government as authentic and then translate and certify the translation. You can now use these documents to register you marriage in Switzerland.
Note that they are able to offer notarial services, including administer an oath, affirmation or affidavit; make a certified copy of a document and witness a signature.
